Triple H was recently a guest on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. During the interview, he was asked about Wrestlemania 36 still happening during the coronavirus pandemic.
Specifically, Triple H was asked how close that WWE came to canceling the event completely.
“It’s really hard to answer that. I think like everybody, we were sort of kind of going through the minute by minute of what was happening. It’s amazing how quickly all of this happened. On Wednesday the 11th we were doing an event at the Performance Center in Orlando that actually had fans.
I had mentioned to Vince the day before [and I said] ‘maybe we should leave some of this stuff up just in case [because] it just seems like things are going in a weird direction very quickly. Within a 24 hour period after that, everything was shutting down. Like everything, we’re playing it by ear.”
We feel like it’s an obligation for us. Our fans have been there for us for years and years and years and we wanna be there for them. In this time where everybody is just doing their best to get through this and kind of stuck home and the world needs entertainment right now. We feel sort of an obligation to give them that.”Click Here: Son Heung-min Jersey Sale

‘Eagles 3 Butterflies 0’: Wenger and Arsenal slammed after Palace loss

NEWSPAPERS, PUNDITS AND former players poured fresh scorn on Arsenal and their besieged manager Arsene Wenger on Tuesday following Monday’s dismal 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.

“They bottle it, they’re cowards, they duck out of challenges,” was the scathing verdict of former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports.
“The best description of the players was two years ago from Graeme Souness, who said they are a team of son-in-laws. But what father would want his daughter to bring one of them home?”
It was Arsenal’s fourth successive away defeat in the Premier League and left them seven points off the Champions League places with a game in hand.
Furious away fans taunted Arsenal’s misfiring players with chants of “You’re not fit to wear the shirt!” and barracked Wenger and his squad as they boarded the team bus after the match.
The back-page headline in The Times, a riff on Palace’s nickname, read: “Eagles 3 Butterflies 0.”
The Daily Telegraph said the result at Selhurst Park represented “humiliation”, while The Sun asked of Wenger: “How can he stay after Selhurst shambles?”
Several newspapers said Arsenal had reached “a new low”.
Wenger, 67, is reported to have been offered a two-year contract extension by Arsenal, but has yet to reveal what he intends to do.
He once again batted away questions about his future after the game, saying he was “not in the mood” to discuss it.
Arsenal great Ian Wright claimed on Twitter that the nature of Arsenal’s latest capitulation showed “that dressing room is lost”.
Carragher delivered a withering assessment of Arsenal’s players, labelling the recent performances of star duo Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez “nothing short of embarrassing”.
Former Arsenal striker John Hartson said the defeat against Palace showed Wenger had lost the magic touch that brought him three Premier League titles and four FA Cups in his first nine years at the club.
“I just think now it’s time for him to go,” Hartson told BBC Radio 5 Live. “It hurts me to say that because I like Arsene Wenger.

“Last night (Monday), you would call that performance inept. There was a lack of leadership, lack of togetherness. The players are playing as individuals. They don’t look like a team.”

Rapinoe rips ‘misogyny and sexism’ in US women’s equal pay fight
US WOMEN’S STAR Megan Rapinoe and Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber ripped US Soccer for language in a court filing opposing equal pay for the US women’s national team.
The US Soccer Federation made the gender claims in papers filed this week in the gender discrimination lawsuit filed by the US Women’s National Team against USSF in March of 2019.
The latest heated dispute in the US women fight for equal pay — $66 million (€59.05m) in back pay under the Equal Pay Act and the Civil Rights Act — came when the USSF argued hostile environments faced by the men’s team are “unmatched by anything the Women’s National Team must face.”
The federation also argued that “The job of (a men’s national team) player (competing against senior men’s national teams) requires a higher level of skill based on speed and strength than does the job of (women’s national team) player (competing against senior women’s national teams).”
US Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro issued an apology for the “offense and pain caused” by the court document language on Wednesday, hours after being ripped by major sponsor Coca-Cola.
“We are extremely disappointed with the unacceptable and offensive comments made by US Soccer,” the Coca-Cola Company said.
The latest responses to the filing ranged from anger and shock from Garber to disappointment in the case of Rapinoe.
“We have sort of felt that those are some of the undercurrent feelings that they’ve had for a long time,” Rapinoe told ESPN after a 3-1 victory Wednesday over Japan.
“But to see that as the argument, as blatant misogyny and sexism as the argument against us, is really disappointing.”
Garber found it astonishing.
“When I saw the media reports of US Soccer’s recent filing, I was shocked and angry,” he said Thursday.
“I expressed to (Cordeiro) in no uncertain terms how unacceptable and offensive I found the statements in that filing to be.
“Those statements do not reflect my personal view, nor do they reflect the views of the Major League Soccer… I intend to immediately address this issue with the US Soccer board of directors.”

Rocco Commisso, chairman of the minor-league New York Cosmos, condemned what he called “shocking and offensive comments” by USSF and said Cardeiro should step down.
“The federation’s view that the women’s game is inherently inferior to the men’s is, in my opinion, clear evidence that the years of discrimination against women is not due simply to financial conflicts of interest but also to a deep underlying prejudice against women players,” Commisso said.
“For the good of the game, Carlos Cordeiro and every member of the US Soccer Board should immediately step down.”
Both sides in the court fight have requested a summary judgment seeking a ruling in their favour before the 5 May trial date.
